“Bring Them Home” – Davido Wears Victims’ Names At FIFA Concert To Protest Abduction Of Nigerian Schoolchildren

Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has used his platform at the FIFA World Cup Countdown Concert in Los Angeles on Wednesday night to spotlight the insecurity crisi that has plagued several regions in Nigeria.

Recall that social media has been on fire following the news of the abductions of some students, parents and teachers in Oyo state.

The tragic incident was further compounded by the gruesome slaughter of a Mathematics teacher in Oyo State, identified as Michael Oyedokun.

Davido, who has been consistently clamouring for an urgent government intervention to secure the release of the abductees, used his performance as a further action by donning a custom-made jacket bearing the names of 39 schoolchildren and seven teachers recently abducted in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. The back of the jacket carried a stark, handwritten message: “Bring Them Home.”

As he performed his global hit “Fall,” Davido repeatedly turned and raised the jacket to the cameras, ensuring the names and the plea remained visible throughout his set.

Following the action, many netizens have lauded Davido for showing compassion amid the rising insecurity challenges.
